Hello Mike. Looks like their command station refit has finished and they
are operational again. Apparently it's possible to e-mail them and get a
schedule for the beacon.

Mission Operations Log Summaries
10/16/07 - The ops team was finally able to get back into the SRI station
although some work remains to be done (like re-installing the UHF feed). Two
contacts were run today, lde by the fearless I. Mas. The beacon was re-enabled
and verified, and state of health data was downloaded given the extended
time over the past 2 months during which no operations were run. Satellite bus
health is nominal, and the previously observed payload temperature control
anomaly continues (again, we note that the anomaly is for a function that is no
longer needed to support the mission). A new ops trainees participated in
the contacts and showed off by hand-tracking the beacon with a hand-held
antenna and transceiver (nice job Jose!). Post-pass logging was initiated via the
internet from Munich! We currently plan to run the next set of contacts next
week, and the ops team is working with the engineering team to establish a
set of end-of-life test objectives. CK
Mid-August through Mid-October Summary - The SRI station is unavailable
during this time for maintenance, retrofit, and other test operations. The
beacon will be shut off during this period. CK
Early August 2007 Ops Summary - The ops team is training several new mission
controllers for educational purposes as well as initial training for the
team's next satellite, PharmaSat. The team is retrieving routine health data
and is also conducting power stress tests (which occasionally require the
beacon to be turned off) in order to assess the power generation capabilities of
the system. The satellite bus health is nominal. Payload health is good with
the exception of the payload temperature control process (temp is below
setpoint, the control loop is activated, but a much lower than nominal heater
current draw exists); we will monitor this system and develop a plan to evaluate
the heater FET and/or other possible root causes. No operations during the
week of Aug 12 given the attendance of most of the team at the AIAA Conference
on Small Satellites (which includes presentation of several GeneSat-1
related papers). CK
July 2007 Ops Summary - Only limited operations conducted in July due to
routine maintenance with the SRI station and its use to support other studies.
Satellite beacon off. CK
